Two Different Worlds

Chapter 9: Secrets cause more trouble

Chapter 9

Scarlett's POV

I sat there, staring at 5 faces; 4 of them were blank, the last was angry. Guess who's the angry one. 

"Now start explaining!" Louis said sternly.

I looked to the ground, too ashamed to look at them. "I...i-i'm sorry. I don't think i can tell you."

"What do you mean you can't tell us?! We were practically killed back there by some freaks and you can't tell us why?!?!" He shouted.

"Louis, calm down. I'm sure she has a reason." Liam said, trying to control Louis' temper. 

"If i tell you guys, then your lives would be in danger."

"Well too late for that now isn't it?" Louis said, crossing his arms. 

"Look, you can trust us. We're your friends ok? You don't have to keep things from us." Harry said. I kept looking down, fiddling with my fingers. I can trust them...right? They've been good to me. And they deserve the right to know. Should i risk it?

"I'm...uh...not from here." I said nervously. 

"What do you mean?" Liam asked.

"Not from...this planet." 

"S-so what? You're like an...alien?" I nodded at Liam's question. They all continued to stare at me blankly before bursting out into hysterics. Well, Zayn, Liam, and Niall were laughing. The other two...not so much. "That is hilarious! Now seriously, what's going on?" I kept my expression serious, earning some confused looks.

"Y-you're really an alien?" Zayn said. I nodded slightly. "B-but you look s-so...normal."

"I had to alter my appearance so i can fit in." 

"S-so what do you really look like?" Liam asked.

I sighed and stood from my seat. "Follow me." I waved my hand to motion for them to follow. We walked over to the elevator and pushed the button to my floor. It slowly brought us down and the doors opened for us to file out. We entered my hotel room where they all plopped down onto the couch, waiting for me to continue. I grabbed my bag that contained all my equipment and pulled out the morpher. I reset the settings and pointed the object at me, pressing the 'morph' button. The familiar green scanner surrounded my body again, studying my form. In a matter of seconds, my skin, hair, and eyes returned to their original shade. I placed the morpher on the table and looked at the boys, all of which had wide eyes. 

"Whoa.." Harry breathed. 

"Yea...This is what i really look like." I gestured to my body, letting them take in my appearance. 

"Where are you from?" Liam asked.

"A place called Azverona."

"Why are you here?" Zayn questioned

"T-there was a jail break at one of our prisons. They came to this planet and i was sent to come get them and make sure no one got hurt." 

"Who's they?" Niall asked adding emphasis to the word 'they'.

I let out a deep sigh and pulled out a chair from behind. I sat in front of all of them, with my elbows propped up on my thighs. "They're called the Zinthovas, our people's enemy. They are some of the most deadliest people in the universe. There are 5 of them here and trust me, you wouldn't want to go up against them.... considering the fact that they are 10 times stronger and have powers." I looked at Harry and Louis "You guys just happened to meet 2 of them back at the photo shoot."
